ABOUT THIS WATCH

• A truly unique tool watch offering from Breitling, the Emergency first launched in 1995 and has an in-built Personal Locator Beacon (PLB)
• Resembling the Breitling Aerospace, the Emergency shot to prominence in the 2003 after adventurer Steve Brooks used the watch to save his life during an Antarctic expedition gone wrong
• This piece measures 51mm across and is crafted from lightweight, hard-wearing titanium with a black diamond like coating (DLC)
• It’s finished with an unusual light blue mother of pearl dial complemented by two digital windows displaying the watch’s multifunction chronograph
• This dial adds a glamorous twist to this highly specialised professional instrument
• The bezel is marked with compass points, and when used in conjunction with the analogue hands, can assist the wearer with navigation
• This latest iteration of the Breitling Emergency - the Emergency II - is equipped with a micro transmitter, which alternately operates on two separate frequencies over a 24-hour period
• The PLB transmits a first digital signal on the 406 MHz frequency intended for satellites and lasts 0.44 seconds every 50 seconds; a second analog signal on the 121.5 MHz homing and rescue frequency lasts 0.75 seconds every 2.25 seconds
• Beneath the screw-down caseback beats Breitling’s calibre B76, a SuperQuarz movement which boasts 10 times the accuracy of a standard quartz movement
